Suggested Rules of Conduct

1) You will be in the public eye - dress and act accordingly. Ignore anyone attempting to engage you in argumentative discussion. Absolutely no catcalls or rude gestures. Smile a lot and bite your tongue if necessary. Suggest staying away from the perimeter of the event and stay with the group.

2) If you are interviewed by the media, do so away from any protesters, think and pick your words carefully, Remember that saying less is often more than adequate - answer simply and with a smile. Do not volunteer unnecessary opinions - if you don't know, say so.

3) This is not the time to promote an agenda beyond the original intent - a group of friends that wanted to get together for a picnic. Obviously you share some of the same values. No politics, no soap box oratory. Make no derogatory statements about others.

4) Only properly holstered handguns - no long guns. Do NOT handle your sidearm. If you do not have a Maine permit, OC in a vehicle is not legal so holster up discretely when you exit your vehicle.

5) Keep the area clean and neat. Leave no trash behind - either dispose of it properly or take it with you.

6) If there is a situation, walk away from it. Let the local authorities handle it. Do NOT get involved. Obey all laws at all times.

7) Relax and have a good time. You are exercising your 1st and 2nd Amendment rights - be proud and make us all proud of you.

8) In attending this event, you agree to abide by these rules and any others that the sponsors of this event deem prudent and necessary. Anyone whose conduct is not acceptable will be asked to cease or leave at the sole discretion of the sponsors.

[line]
This picnic has grown beyond the expectations of the original group. That says a lot about the sincerity and strength of conviction shared by many in your state. You each will be representing a multitude of others who could not attend.

Please note that I am not part of this group, just a very interested bystander.
I want to see this succeed for you individually, for Maine as well as for the restoration and the continuation of all our RKBA.

Only two more days!

I would love another great turnout like we had for the barbecue! I am getting the word out a month in advance so that everyone should hear about it! We can even do a camp-out if people want to?! So please get back to me with a solid number! If you have any questions please contact me directly: shanebelanger@gmail.com
